Stress Testing: Test your limits
Welcome to Platform Lab

Platform Lab provides the best value -- for any company, anywhere -- to conduct IT test projects.

Platform Lab provides a competitive advantage to our clients by offering short term physical or remote access to IT hardware, software and massive bandwidth for all types of companies for the explicit purpose of IT testing and projects.

The value proposition is clear: if access to IT test infrastructure is exceptionally affordable, more companies will test. Robust testing leads to better processes, better people, higher quality applications, fewer mistakes and less waste from under-utilized assets.

Disaster recovery plan validation

Over 60 firms and organizations utilize Platform Lab in order to prove and troubleshoot their disaster recovery plan process.

Please review our hardware list and software and email us the types of servers, tape drives and storage your disaster recovery plan exercise will require.

We set up the environment to your specifications, at no charge. You then rent the utilization of this environment -- generally on a weekly basis -- for an exceptionally cost effective rate.

A price card for utilization is available on the Platform Lab website. If you do not see your hardware requirements in our current inventory, please contact us immediately and we will begin efforts to acquire the assets you need for your disaster recovery plan exercise, either on loan, rent or purchase from our vendors and partners.

To read about Platform Lab benefits and services as applied to real clients, see our success stories for OhioHealth, Installed Building Products and Children's Hospital.

A disaster recovery plan validation testimonial

"To me, the best accolades for having Platform Lab came from the guys on my team who used your facilities. Before the first test, I gathered that they had some doubts about what they could accomplish and learn and what Platform Lab could provide them. After they completed that first week of testing, the Unix and Windows administrators returned with tremendous praise about what they had available to them and what they learned. They found that many of the assumptions we had made in our plans were laid open to raw reality and just plain didn t work. The facilities at Platform Lab gave us the ability to test, rethink, and retest without the incessant time pressure that ll be on us during a 48-hour test at our contracted disaster recovery vendor."
-- Dave Nagy, Senior Director, Abercrombie & Fitch
